Each day we hear a knock on our psychological door, and when we open it a pushy person enters and begins to bark out orders: “Worry about this.” “Remember and regret that.” “Work harder!”Is it little wonder we experience only the most fleeting feelings of love, kindness or relaxation? Something that calls itself an authority pushes us along all the time. Without ever questioning, we accept it as one.A voice comes in and orders us to become negative.

Your Life, Your ChoiceBy John Holland Life Choices and Making Better OnesWherever you are right now, at this precise time in your life, you’re there because you took yourself there.

​The Importance Of Being An Independent ThinkerBy Diane WingLiving as an Independent Thinker Can Be HardBeing an independent thinker is not easy. These days it’s hard to know what to believe.

​It is essential that we develop our instincts that alert us to when something is off, when something may be a threat, and then dig a little deeper to validate or to disprove that feeling.

​Close Encounters with Crisis Can Bring HealingAny of us may have a close encounter with crisis; forced through these close encounters to find the way back to health and balance. Even though the truth is never further away from us than our wish for its awakening and self-healing insight, there are distinct moments in life when it comes closer to us.Unfortunately, almost all of these important, potentially life-changing close encounters or moments are entirely missed.
